So…yeah. If you don’t like peanut butter this may not be the post for you.
Monday was my husband’s birthday. Whenever I start brainstorming what to make for his birthday, two things come to mind: carrot cake and peanut butter and chocolate.
When I asked him if there was something he wanted me to make he mentioned maybe something with peanut butter cups.
Well. Now, we all know I did that. Last year. And then some.
Also, I didn’t want to make a cake. Too much leftover. You all know my husband pretty well by now. If I made him a cake he would eat one slice and then guess you would eat the rest?
All the running in the world wouldn’t cure that, now would it?
So I made him some simple deep dish peanut butter chocolate chip peanut cookies.
And then I dressed them up like they were Cinderella, going to the ball.
No one likes a nekkid cookie. A nekkid cookie might get teased and then feel bad about itself. We can’t have that, now can we?
So I made some ice cream. Peanut butter ice cream. You know, using that two ingredient method?
{But this time I used actual whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. ‘Cuz my guy is one of those people…you know the type. The “hmmm…that’s too sweet” type. WTH does “too sweet” even mean?}
Now, normally, I would have stopped there. But since we’re dressing up the cookie, she needed some accessories. A hat, perhaps.
Made of chocolate sauce. And peanuts.
There she is. All dressed up and ready for the ball.
Hubba hubba.
Happy Birthday to my sweet husband. You’re a fantastic husband and father.
Now go eat another cookie, will ya’?

Lucky hubby! That cookie is all spiffed up and looovely! Also–um making the 2 ingredient method with cool whip? say whaaa?!
Yes! I always (usually) use cool whip instead of cream…and I use the fat-free kind! It makes it sweeter, because cool whip starts out sweet, whereas cream isn’t. 🙂
I’ve been looking for a chewy peanut butter cookie, and this looks like it might be it! How was it on the chewy scale?
Every time I make PB cookies, they turn out too crunchy 🙁
Definitely chewy! I used both brown and white sugars, I think that helps? The edges were a little crunchy but the center stayed soft. (Probably also because they were deep dish.) Thanks so much for reading!
Looks like a home run to me. Peanut butter and chocolate…Yumm!
I love that we both talked about our naked baked goods this week! And they are both peanut butter and chocolate! These look dreamy. Happy birthday, Mel!
I made ice cream cups just like this a few weeks back – I know what you mean about cake being left over and making tons. These are perfect! And you made PB ice cream…swoon!
Thanks Averie. And swoon is right! 🙂
